Bosons
Gauge (Vector) Bosons
Gluon
Strong force - gluon (between quarks), pion (between nucleons) and only affects hadrons.
Photon
Electromagnetic force - occurs whenever two charged particles interact with each other and also binds electrons to atoms.

W Boson
W^- Boson
Beta Minus Decay - neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and anti-electron neutrino (n -> e^- + ¬ve).
Electron-proton collision - an electron collides with a proton and an electron and an electron neutrino are emitted (p + e^- -> n + ve).
W^+ Boson
Beta Plus Decay - proton turns into a neutron, emitting a positron and an electron neutrino (p -> n + e^+ + ve).
Electron Capture - an electron is absorbed by a proton in the nucleus resulting in the release of a neutron and an electron neutrino (p + e^- -> n + ve).
